| PEP 326L: Fundamentals of Exercise Physiology Department of Health, Exercise and Sports Sciences Instructor: Len Kravitz, Ph.D. Meeting Times: PEP326L is being taught as REMOTE ARRANGED: This is very much like a fully ONLINE course. Students will work through lectures and readings at their own pace each week, on their own day/time. There is an EXAM every week due by Friday at 12 midnight. NO LATE EXAMS accepted. Email: lkravitz@unm.edu (NOTE: EMAIL is the BEST way to reach me) Prerequisites: REQUIRED—Biology 237-247L (Successful completion of 'C' or higher); Helpful—Biology 238-248L Special NOTE: To keep up with UNM's updated information on COVID-19 please CLICK HERE PEP 326L Home Page: CLICK HERE Course Description: Exercise physiology is an evaluation of the acute responses and some chronic adaptations of the body to the stresses of exercise. Rationale: The initial study of exercise physiology requires the student to have prior competency in basic human anatomy and physiology. Emphasis in this course utilizes this information to focus on how the body (and its systems) responds to the differing types of intensities of exercise. For students who wish to pursue further studies in exercise physiology, a thorough mastery of this fundamental information is extremely important and provides the foundation for more advanced study in exercise bioenergetics, biochemistry and physiology. This course is closely associated with the College of Education Core Values in the study and practice of education through teaching, research, and service. It is the goal of the Exercise Science Program and College of Education to prepare students for participation in a complex and challenging society. The Core Values statement of the college of education is posted at: coe.unm.edu and click Core Values link Course Objectives: To acquire, 1. Knowledge of the acute and chronic physiological changes that occur in the body in response to exercise stress. 2. Knowledge in the performance, understanding and interpretation of basic physiological assessment such as indirect calorimetry, muscular fitness and cardiovascular analyses. 3. An appreciation of research in exercise physiology. Textbook: RECOMMENDED. Kenney, W.L., Wilmore, J.H, & Costill, D. L. (2020). Physiology of Sport and Exercise (Seventh Edition). Human Kinetics. Instructional Strategies The instructor will use the following strategies during the course of instruction: Computerized/digital lecture presentations via YOUTUBE videos Web-based study Demonstrations and laboratory experiences via YOUTUBE videos Evaluation:
Note: No make-ups on exams or labs without valid excuse. Approved make-ups must be completed within 2 school days of the exam, lab or assignment. As well, due to the size and nature of the academic content of this class, student ADDS are only accepted on the first day of class OR prior to first day acccording to WAIT list (per instructor decision how many to add). Grading Scale
Academic Integrity: Academic dishonesty defined from the UNM Student Code of Conduct: “dishonesty in quizzes, tests or assignments; claiming credit for work not done or done by others; hindering the academic work of other students; misrepresenting academic or professional qualifications within or without the University; and nondisclosure or misrepresentation in filling out applications or other University records." The Exercise Science faculty support the importance of academic integrity. A student violating academic dishonesty guidelines will receive an “F” for the course. A second violation will result in the student being withdrawn from the Exercise Science program. FOR Detailed Lecture Schedule with Course Topics and Labs: CLICK HERE |
